Moving into Woodinville, WA

When you are planning to move into a small city, there are a few things that you should know. Living in a small city is extremely different from living in a large one. The community is close-knit and everyone knows each other. Be prepared to get to know your neighbors really well, whether you want to or not! In fact, it's probably best to talk to your potential neighbors before you move. Make sure they are people that you will get along with.

While you are looking for a house there are a few things that you will want to think about. For instance if you are moving into the neighborhood and you have kids who are going to go to school, you will want to look around and see where the closest school is. By living close to a school you can cut down on a lot of commute time. The Woodinville high school is in the Wedge neighborhood. Leota has a junior high school. Lower grade schools are scattered around town.

If you want peace and quiet you might want to check out the tourist district where the wineries are located. Even though there may be tourists, grapes need lots of room to grown and are usually quiet at night.

Finding a home in Woodinville

Finding a home in Woodinville is just like finding a home in any other city. All you will need is a few essentials and you will be all set. Realtors and landlords will want to run a credit check on you so you will want to make sure that your credit looks good before you apply to get a mortgage. Having bad credit can cost you a lot of money as you will have high interest rates. Because of this we advise that you get your credit all taken care of before you try to apply for a home. Having good credit can end up saving you a lot of money.

You will also want to make sure that you have a deposit for the house handy, along with proof of income. This will show that you are serious about the house and able to pay for it. The last thing they may ask you for is your previous renting or housing history. Make sure that you have this handy as well so that you can show them that you have been a valuable tenant in the past. In this case, valuable means you can pay your rent on time every month!

Before you sign anything

Before you sign any contracts, you will want to ensure that you understand exactly what you are signing. If there is anything that you aren't sure about, or that you don't completely understand, make sure that it is explained to you. If they don't explain it to you then turn around and walk away. You don't need to buy from anybody who is not professional with you. The last thing you want to do is be stuck in a horrible contract, even when it means you get to live in a city like Woodinville!
